The length in the pic is 6". I ordered the 7" yesterday and will put it on when I get it then re-post pictures.
I agree with other poster that said it should be a little bigger, but I don't think it should be too much bigger.
Anyone know of any tricks to properly place a tank decal?

If you're having one made,,?? How about grey, either lighter or darker than the tank, subtle but discernable might look quite classy.

FYI:
Don't use this guy's method for removing pad pins:
The tool you need is an E10 Torx which you'll need to convert to "thin walled" on your bench grinder. The pin has an E10 Torx head and its countersunk.

I've gotten a couple PM's about my '16 Breakout, so I thought I'd share with everyone what I did. First of all, I read this forum top to bottom to get ideas, and I got some great ones.
Had a buddy of mine paint the tins. I didn't like the gloss of the vivid black, but I think the denim paint is too matte (I'm picky), so I had him paint them matte black, but not too matte. I'm thinking with the clear coat it will dull a little more too.
-Powder Coated the primary cover, fender struts, middle console, and other random parts. Personally I like the look of blacking out the stock console vs the blackline dash.
-Heartlander 2" tank lift and riser extension. MUCH more comfortable riding position and involves a speedo flip, which cosmetically I prefer, to make it work.
-Legendary Cycles 2" Rear Lowering Kit. Looks much better IMO without spending the coin for SS. Rides a tad stiffer, but not very noticeable. I'm 215 and the old lady is 125, two up wasn't a problem.
-Chrome Glow rear light kit, and removed rear side turners. Relocated the plate w/ a custom dynamics LED plate frame.
-R.S. Clarity air cleaner, Bassani Pro Street Turnouts, and FP3. Makes it SO much more fun to ride, and sounds great in my opinion. Loud, but not obnoxious.

Hi all I'm looking to replace my breakout stock risers but just the bottom half and was hoping someone has done this on here, I want to keep my top half with the speedo cup, HD do a kit but it says its for putting apes on, and it's a hefty price for the kit. if anyone has done it and has a part number or if they are after market parts, I don't mind either way and a picture plus how the ride position is. Thankyou.

Cheers EagleRay i did see the Thunderbike ones, so that might be the way forward, I've had quite a few bits from them now and they are very good and a good service for delivery to over here in the UK. I see you are in Germany do you go to any of the thunderbike events as me and a couple of friends are riding out in September to the end of summer bash.

Clamps arrived last week (they fit perfectly), but the Kuryakyn bag was back-ordered at the time. It's on the way now, and I'll be drawing up the design for the side plates as soon as it arrives.
On a side note, does anyone know where I can find some stainless (300-series preferably) 5/16-24 x 3/4" tamper-proof button head cap screws? All the usual places I source hardware only have the tamper-proof stuff in 18TPI. I don't need 3000 of them either; about 50-100 would be fine.

Nope I don't go to any of their events. To go up there and back would take me 3 days....too much time and money (accommodation) involved.
